Within the forbidden area of the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy.
A young man in a black robe sat cross-legged on the ground. The surrounding lava seemed to fear the blue flame in the young man's hand and chose to bypass him.
"This flame is entirely blue in color, and it is a fusion of lava core fire and yang fire. From now on, let's call it Azure Rock Fire."
Qin Xin looked at the strange fire in his hand and casually said something.
Now, in this underground space, Qin Xin has spent countless days cultivating, and his cultivation at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm has stabilized.
Moreover, during the process of being devoured by the strange fire, Qin Xin's body was also tempered. It could be vaguely seen that his bones were trying to become jade-like, which was a manifestation of physical cultivation reaching its peak.
As the Qi Sea Eye within the Martial Elixir circulated, within a six-zhang-wide area, the liquid formed from condensed true Qi was moved and circulated, and the true Qi surrounding it was also slowly integrated into it, causing the area of the true liquid to show signs of expansion.
The Black Stick Martial Spirit has also undergone significant changes compared to before. The golden Martial Spirit patterns and the blue flames emanating from it make the Martial Spirit look very mysterious.
With a thought, the martial spirit was instantly activated, and true energy, propelled by the eye of the sea of qi, instantly filled the entire body.
"Aragami Battle Body!"
"The first of the Nine Nirvanas of the Heavenly Phoenix, the Heavenly Phoenix Battle Armor!"
With the rapid surge of his blood energy, Qin Xin exuded an aura like that of a ferocious beast, appearing extremely violent. Moreover, this beast possessed wings and armor constructed from cyan flames.
Standing quietly in place, he resembled a war god born from flames.
Clenching his fists tightly, Qin Xin glanced down at his body, his eyes filled with joy. "The Desolate God Battle Body has actually advanced directly to the third level. It seems that the Lava Core Flame has brought many benefits to the physical body."
Now that Qin Xin's Desolate God Battle Body has reached the third level, it means that he can rival a level four demonic beast with his physical strength alone. Moreover, the strength of a level four demonic beast is equivalent to the Qi Sea Realm of a human martial artist.
"Now, when facing a Yuanfu Realm expert, at least I am no longer at their mercy."
After Qin Xin smiled, he loosened his fist, and the violent blood energy slowly subsided, while the flame armor on his body gradually became illusory.
After looking around, Qin Xin's face showed worry. "How do we get out of here now?"
During this time, while recovering, Qin Xin was also actively searching for a way out.
However, the results left him somewhat helpless. The underground space was vast, but every part of it was protected by arrays, which Qin Xin could not shake no matter how he attacked.
Even Danqing had no way to break the sealing formation. Because it was constructed from the outside, it was almost impossible to break it from the inside. Otherwise, the molten core fire would not have been sealed for so many years.
Qin Xin was also somewhat annoyed by this outcome. Being trapped in this underground space for so long might drive a person insane. But now he could only wait for the seal to loosen or for someone from the outside world to open it.
As he released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings again, trying to find a weak point in the seal, a faint fluctuation suddenly emanated, causing the Azure Rock Fire within Qin Xin's martial spirit to ripple.
Somewhat puzzled, Qin Xin walked in the direction that Qingyan Fire had sensed.
After using the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword to shatter a boulder, a ball of flame appeared in Qin Xin's field of vision.
The ball of fire was smaller than a fist, but all the surrounding lava was converging towards it.
"Earth's core lava fire!"
Qin Xin exclaimed in surprise.
The flames before him, though not as terrifying as the molten lava fire Qin Xin had encountered before, were still a strange fire.
However, this strange fire seemed to have only been formed recently; it lacked not only spiritual awareness but also any means of attack.
Staring at the ball of flame, Qin Xin felt a pang of regret, because the flame was too weak at the moment, and even if it were to be devoured, it wouldn't bring him much improvement.
After some thought, he realized that the temperature of the magma and flames in the underground space had not decreased, perhaps because there were still newly born sparks of fire. If Qin Xin were to subdue them, he didn't know what would happen after losing the magma core fire.
Moreover, this young lava core fire can also conceal Qin Xin's doubts, saving him a lot of trouble after he leaves.
While he was pondering this, Qin Xin, who had been using his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, also sensed a fluctuation coming from the outside world within this underground space.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xin quickly turned around to try and see if he could leave.
Just as Qin Xin arrived at the place where the fluctuations originated, a petite figure caught his eye, leaving him speechless.
Ya Ru acted like a big sister, with Long Mu following behind her, as if the two of them were searching for something in the surrounding area.
"Ya Ru? Long Mu?" Qin Xin looked at the two of them and called out softly.
"Qin Xin."
"Qin Xin, you see, I told you he wouldn't, right?"
Upon hearing Qin Xin's voice, Ya Ru and Long Mu both ran over happily.
"How did you get in?" Qin Xin had no way to deal with the seal, and this area outside was a forbidden area of the inner courtyard, so he was quite curious about how Ya Ru was able to enter so easily.
"Hmph! This is my secret, I can't tell you." Ya Ru raised her head, unwilling to speak.
Qin Xin didn't mind. This little girl had taken him out of the inner courtyard once before, and she had also broken through the inner courtyard's formation directly. Presumably, she had used the same method to enter here.
Long Mu quietly moved closer to Qin Xin and said, "Qin Xin, these days when I was stealing medicine in the inner courtyard, it wasn't voluntary of me. This older sister forced me to do it."
Seeing Long Mu's cautious movements, Qin Xin guessed that the two of them had done a lot of bad things in the inner courtyard during this period of time.
"Alright, let's go out first." Qin Xin was getting completely listless in this underground space. All he could find around him was lava and rocks, and he longed to go outside and breathe some fresh air.
After Qin Xin said he was leaving, Ya Ru looked around and said, "Strange, that big guy here is gone."
After hearing Ya Ru's words, Qin Xin asked curiously, "How did you know there was something here?"
When Qin Xin asked, Ya Ru pouted and said, "I came here once before, but that big guy chased me away. I haven't sensed its presence in the last few days, so I came in."
Upon hearing Ya Ru's words, Qin Xin finally understood why Ya Ru hadn't entered earlier. It was mainly because she was afraid of that big guy, and it seemed she had suffered quite a bit.
Before Qin Xin could speak, Ya Ru continued, "There should be a little guy there, but it's too small and useless."
Qin Xin followed the direction Ya Ru pointed, his eyes showing some surprise, because that was the place where he had discovered another molten core fire. However, that strange fire had just formed and needed to be tempered for a hundred years to fully take shape, so it was of no use to martial artists.
"Now that we've found Qin Xin, let's go. I made a bet with Senior Sister Shui, and now I need to collect my reward," Ya Ru said with a grin.
A purple aura swirled behind Ya Ru, followed by a ripple in the sky above the underground space. Ya Ru pulled the two of them and hurriedly stepped into it.
Suddenly, everything went white, and the three figures appeared directly outside the forbidden area.
